Data Updated and Enhanced

Businesses collect and maintain large quantities of data associated with geographic locations that can be illustrated and interactively managed on a map. ArcView Business Analyst allows Business professionals to create maps and generate reports that let them identify patterns and understand relationships that were previously unnoticed--thereby increasing profitability.

And now Esri is very proud to announce that ArcView Business Analyst 1.1, featuring 1999 data, is available. The award-winning ArcView Business Analyst integrates current year data sets and offers two demographic data options.

This out-of-the-box solution features the following:
